Waiting for...

equipped with snarky fins.
It has a winning smile:
and when it SMILES, it wins
as miles and miles of herring
excite its fearsome grins.
So beware,...

A Vision of the Despaired…And the obscurity ever so profound…
Stuffing a new-born with apprehension…
Nebulous prophecies it recites…
As my prospect begins to diminish…
The ravens soaring high above…
As fatality becomes the conqueror…
And he dwells in the deep murk…
When the wolves discard...

Agoit’s never …
easy …
letting go
saying goodbye
realizing that your path with someone
no longer saunters to
the same sanctum
because you know then
that you’ll never be whole again -
